Ereka (

song_of_truth) is an American studying abroad in Japan's Iwate Prefecture, which is in her words, "one of the hardest hit by...everything." Her home university (or really, her study abroad travel insurance company) ordered her home, but she's decided to defy the order and stay anyway. And while it'd be really easy and understandable for her to be selfish at this time, she's instead doing everything she can to help. This includes putting up offerings on

help_japan .

Ereka is offering to make two temari for the top two bidders. Temari balls are a traditional form of Japanese embroidery. She made me one as a holiday gift once, and it is absolutely beautiful. Look:

Temari

If you would like a temari as well, go bid for one on

[Error: unknown template qotd] The mountains, most definitely. I mean, just look at these pictures from the trip to Scotland I took over Thanksgiving weekend:

( Pretties! )

The ocean is pretty, and I wouldn't mind having an ocean near the mountains, but if I had to choose between the oceans and the mountains, the mountains definitely would win. Then again, maybe I'm just slightly biased against the ocean because the sand and sea irritate my skin (though not as bad as they used to), and I'm allergic to sunscreen so I have to be careful not to get burned. I do love the ocean at night, though...
